The only people who want a "hand" are the ones who have always been
waiting with their hands out for a handout from the government. The rest
of us, the majority of working Americans simply want the
government to keep its hand out of our pockets and allow us to control
our own destiny. Of course those in government have to try to be part of
the solution instead of simply doing the logical thing and getting out
of the way so that we can get ourselves moving again.

I don’t know the answer to getting the economy back on track, but I do
know that taking money from those who have earned it isn’t going to
work. It never has.

I’m afraid that the coming socialization of America is going to have to
get into full swing before the dumbmasses figure out that’s what it is,
socialism. By then it just might be too late to change it, but I don’t
see the vast majority of people in America being awake enough to what’s
going on to see it for what it is until it’s too late.

Momentum is growing around the republic for change.  Change in our tax structure has been hampering business and individual success since its inception.  Nothing short of a complete overhaul will repair the  broken system and bring America back to its people.

Tea parties are going to be happening all over America tomorrow, Tax Day in the United States.  These aren’t simple protests of over taxation.  They are demands for real change.  Government exists to serve the people.  People don’t exist to serve government.  Taxes in their current form in the United States are oppressive and hamper reward for hard work and individual effort.  The harder you work, the more you earn, the more is taken from you in the name of fairness.

Fairness would dictate that the harder I work, the more reward I should receive for it.  The current tax system dictates that the more I earn from my work, the higher percentage of my income should be taken from me and spent by my government on others.  How is this fair?

The sheer number of tea parties scheduled for tax day is an indication of just how fed up Americans are with our current tax system.  President Obama is continuing the President Bush’s spending spree and has actually increased spending to a level that cannot be sustained even in the short term.  Our government is bankrupting our republic before our eyes in the name of saving it.

I believe that the Obama administration knows this and that it’s part of a plan.  The Obama plan to take us from a mostly capitalist system into a more socialized system of government control of both industry and individual.  If you bankrupt the current system and drive the middle class into the lower class, they will be more willing to do whatever you say to sustain themselves and their families.  The plan is in motion and moving along more quickly than anyone could have imagined just a few short weeks ago.

God help us.

Here’s where our money is being spent and I’m not happy about it, are you?

Find a tea party near you and attend to show your support.

Want to know about the Fair Tax?  You should.  It’s your way to a better life.

Well I’m a bit late on this one, but then again I’m glad to have a good job even if it does take me out of town too often.

The last iteration of the Greenville, SC Tea Party drew about 2,000 people so they decided to move it to a better location.  It’s being put on by the Upstate Young Republicans who put on the first one.

Here’s something else that’s really cool I think.  They will be serving pork barbeque and their slogan is “Pork belongs on a bun, not in a bill!”  Gottaluvit.

GREENVILLE, S.C. — About 10,000 people rallied at the Bi-Lo Center in downtown Greenville to call for less government spending.

The “Tea Party” was organized by young Upstate Republicans and marked the final protest of the week.The “tea” in “Tea Party” stands for “taxed enough already.”

I’d say that would count as a success.  When you have 10,000 people show up for a protest in a city the size of Greenville, you know that you’ve gotten people excited about something.  Governor Mark Sanford spoke as well as Sen. Jim Demint and Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer.  Senator Demint has made himself known in his first term and a senator from South Carolina.  He’s been pushing for less spending and lower taxes since he arrived in Washington.  He is definitely one of the best we have up there.

I was hoping for  larger crowd than we had in February, but I never thought that it would swell to this size.  I hadn’t even heard about it until my friend Kelle Corvin put a post up on her Facebook about it tonight and by then it was almost 7:30, the scheduled end of the party.  Oh well, maybe next time.

The United States cannot save the world. It will be fortunate to save itself. President Bush’s proposed bailout is not simply a socialist measure. It is an attempt to avoid a return to correct valuations. It is an ignorant attempt, in effect, to extend the damage that has already been done.

Further:

“There is no use in interfering by means of a new credit expansion,” wrote Mises. “This would at best only interrupt, disturb, and prolong the curative process of the depression, if not bring about a new boom with all its inevitable consequences.” When Bill O’Reilly says that the disaster is too great, that despite his support for the free market he sees no alternative to the government bailout plan, he is denying the healing power of a depression. He is denying the fundamental lesson of economics. The damage to the economic system has already occurred during the period of false prosperity.

Our government officials are lying to themselves and to us. The false economy and false “boom” that is created by taking money from taxpayers and giving it away to businesses that should be allowed to fail because they are not viable only causes an extension of the pain. Worse yet it could cause our children to bear our pain in the name of saving our own hides. What kind of parent does that to their children?

I believe that President Bush means well. I believe that Senator Obama means well. They both don’t want our nation to be in the financial pain that it’s in, but they are wrong to take away the pain without allowing the wound to heal. The economy is damaged already by too much government interference in markets and private enterprise. Keeping values falsely inflated doesn’t allow the corrections needed to bring about a truly stable economy.

A major research institution (MRI) has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element has been tentatively named Governmentium. Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally take less than a second. Governmentium has a normal half-life of three years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.
